Johanna, the dosage depends on the size of dog, and the strength of peroxide, I think! I just fill the plastic syringe half peroxide and half water, at least that was how I remembered to do it last night, and it had to be near enough right cos it worked!
Okay, just looked it up:
To make your pet vomit, give him household hydrogen peroxide (a 3 percent solution) -about one tablespoon for every ten pounds of pet. Draw the liqiud into a syringe or turkey baster, tip your pets head back and squirt it toward the back of his tongue. In most cases your pet will vomit within five minutes - (although it may not work with cats; even vets have trouble making them vomit) - If he doesn`t, wait fifteen minutes and try again. Don`t give a third dose, however, because giving too much hydrogen peroxide can be dangerous.
Now you know as much about it as me! I am not sure if I got the ratio right in the dose I gave Bob though, the syringe I used holds a little over five ml and it was half and half peroxide/water, but right or not, like I already wrote, it worked!

p,s. Bob has been good tonight, had to be, he was banished to his crate for the night! Though to be fair it has been unlocked for a few hours now and he is still being good.
